QPS in the News

Many businesses in North Central Wisconsin are hiring seasonal workers during the holidays. Staffing professionals say companies like retail shops and delivery services in the Wausau area are desperate for the extra help as business spikes.

Around this time of year many families face hardships due to a lack of income and not being able to find a job. But one organization wants you to know there’s help out there. QPS Employment Group launched a new job assistance program for the holiday season.

Mark Immekus, president and chief sales officer of Brookfield-based QPS Employment, the state’s largest staffing company, said businesses have reported increasing demand for their products, but they are unable to fill the jobs necessary to produce them because of a lack of qualified workers. “In certain cases we’re seeing it impede growth,” Immekus said. “You can imagine how frustrating that is for certain businesses.”

A downtown Sheboygan employment agency has reopened after being displaced for several months following a fire. QPS Employment Group closed its office at 933 N. Eighth St. after a fire broke out inside a neighboring building on Sept. 27, causing extensive smoke damage to the QPS office.

There are plenty of jobs for the taking in the area, officials say.
"As always there are a lot of seasonal jobs. I think there might be some struggles in filling those positions," said Rhonda Suda, executive director of the Southwest Wisconsin Workforce Development. "People are finding full-time regular employment in a more rapid pace than we've seen in the past."

QPS Employment Group is on the move across the Midwest. The Wisconsin-based staffing specialist that celebrated its 30th anniversary this month has built a substantial presence in the Hawkeye State. The Fort Dodge office, 1426 Central Ave., is a major part of that growth story."
